🔷 Shapes

The Shapes layer is useful for creating rectangular or circular shapes. It is particularly handy for designing elements like lower thirds or background accents behind text.

Fields​

  • Graph Type: defines the type of shape to draw, circle or rectangle.
  • Radius width:
    • For rectangles: sets the corner radius, in pixels. A higher value results in more rounded corners.
    • For circles: sets the radius, in pixels. A higher value results in a larger circle.
  • Fill: the fill color of the shape, defined by a hex code (e.g. #FFFFFF for white).
  • Fill Opacity: the transparency of the fill color, from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque).
  • Stroke: the color of the shape's border, defined by a hex code.
  • Stroke Opacity: the transparency of the border color, from 0 to 1.
  • Stroke Width: the thickness of the border, in pixels. A value of 0 means no border.
